Madonna's first ever concert tour of the UK in August 1987 saw a week when Madonna Mania hit fever pitch.

She arrived in the country on Thursday August 13th and left the following Friday August 21st. In between times she played 4 concerts to over a quarter of a million people, celebrated her 29th birthday, visited a hospital for sick children and did a lot of jogging!

This is a report I taped from UK Network TV's early evening news on ITV Thursday August 14th about Madonna's impending arrival! Fans waiting at Heathrow Airport are interviewed along with music journalist Paul Gambaccini.
